   I generally give open-ended exam questions. I think, if I were ever to give another exam (which at this point is extremely unlikely), I'd ask ChatGPT the question and ask the students to analyze its response for correctness and completeness.

     I did an experiment something like this last fall, with great success. Thread here: https://hachyderm.io/@inthehands/109479808455388578

     High five on team “I’m probably never giving another exam!“ Would love to chat sometime about alternatives you’ve explored.

     @inthehands My solution to the exam problem is retirement… Next fall, I’m teaching a seminar class with no exams.
